Editing a
System
Configuration
File
You can edit a system configuration file on your workstation, using a text
editor such as Word pad, and then upload it to one or more switches. A
system configuration file contains a structured list of commands.
Because the system configuration file defines so many switch
operations, it is crucial to follow these guidelines when you edit the file:
❑ Follow the syntax of the CLI commands exactly. Refer to the
AT-S60 Command Line User’s Guide for the command syntax.
Displaying System Configuration Files on page 159 shows an
example of a system configuration file.
❑ Never alter the order of the feature headings that are listed (or
commented out with # signs).
Caution
Any deviation from the command syntax or order of features in the
system configuration file can create serious switch malfunctions.
